Better yet, follow the Apple dialog guidelines for labeling buttons and eschew the ambiguity of "OK".

Those Human Interface Guidelines are incredible. There is also an Apple Style Guide that’s very awesome as well. For example, “don’t use ‘please’ as in “Please click yes to continue.” Instead, simply “click yes to continue.” I forget the rationale but it was pretty sound reasoning if I remember correctly.

Rationale is probably primarily that it’s just less wordy and secondarily that it sounds like an option instead of a request.
